Warpig
Warpig is a lost gem, the 1970 self-titled album from an
obscure band from Ontario, Canada.
Like many of these prehistoric early-seventies bands that are
often mentioned as originators (or, at least, ancestors) of
metal,
Warpig doesn't have much in common with today's metal, as
Black Sabbath
was just getting started, and these guys weren't that heavy at all.
On the other hand,
there are some similarities to bands such as early
Deep Purple
or perhaps
Budgie,
along with a dash of very early
Blue Oyster Cult
(check out "Rock Star" for an example), making for a pretty nice
little album.
The band broke up during the recording of their second album in 1973,
though as late as 2004 the members were toying with the idea of
reforming.
That reformation is now official, and they are now working on their
second album (which will set a record for most number of years between
releases!),
That Pillar Of Fire.
